😬 I needed to practice what I preach.

Hello from Taos, Natalie!

I've been in New Mexico all week, attending (rather than leading) a retreat for a change.

Damn, did I need this.

Things for me were feeling a little meh. β€œFine.”

Life - especially my creative life - was feeling same-old-same-old.

I'm so glad for this walk-my-talk moment.

I've taken long walks under a giant New Mexican sky. Attended inspiring workshops with interesting new friends. Slept, deeply and a lot.

I've enjoyed meal after meal not made by me. And most importantly: I'm enjoying enough time and space to hear my inner-inner-inner voice.

The amusing point here? This really, simply is a taste of my own medicine. I'm doing ~ e x a c t l y ~ what I encourage other people to do.

So lemme ask:

my dear helping friends - 

you coaches and teachers and creatives and parents, you -

how would it help you to do a little more Practice What You Preach?

Where might you benefit from a loving dose of your own medicine?

It makes sense, but is still strange: the wisdom and perspective we offer the world is very often exactly the wisdom and perspective we ourselves need.

Apply liberally.

love,

Natalie
